It was announced today that the Gerer Rebbe will be traveling to the United States to take part in the monumental Keren Olam HaTorah initiative.
The Rebbe is expected to arrive in New York for the week of Parshas Shelach, joining a massive effort to raise over $100 million for yeshivos and kollelim in Eretz Yisroel, which have been deeply impacted by recent government budget slashes.
The Rebbe’s participation in the campaign highlights the unprecedented unity being forged across the Torah world.
While in the United States, the Rebbe is also expected to attend the chanukas habayis of a major new cheder campus in Boro Park.
Joining the Rebbe on this mission will be a delegation of prominent gedolei Torah, including leading roshei yeshiva from the Litvishe world such as Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch and Rav Dov Landau, as well as the Sanzer and Rachmistrivka Rebbes.
The Rebbe’s final itinerary is still being coordinated.
